Acquire the Fundamentals of Control Theory for Linear Time Invariant Systems in time continuous mode of operation. The applications will address Electromecanisms as well as control feedback in Electronics. Understand the general mechanisms behind a motorized installation. (electric device + electrical converter and control + mechanical load) Know the advantages and disadvantages of common solutions in order to motorize a specific process logically. Concerning the power electronic part of a motorization system, the students will see several DC-DC converters (Buck, Boost, Buck-Boost and Cuk) in order to choose the better type of converter according to applications, which can be robotics or lifting. According to the operating quadrant of the application (rotation and torque in both direction or not), they will be able to choose the converter switch organization (one component for each switch, one component and a diode in antiparallel or two components mounted in inverse parallel). They also will see rectifier technologies (Diodes, thyristors and combined bridges) to be able to construct a driving system from a three-phase network in order to control a DC. The choice of the technology allows to answer different specifications in terms of operating quadrant and the students will be able to choose the technology according to industrial specifications given. To drive DC motors they will see how to use a control loop based on PWM methodology. Finally, they will be able to size an inverter with drivable components (MOSFET or IGBT) using the PWM control method to drive AC motors with a control loop. Two types of control theory will be explained: the scalar speed control and the flux vector control. Propagation in linear isotropic medium. Plane wave, reflexion, interferences, diffraction Frequency bands and propagation caracteristics Electromagnetic Radiation, antenna Transmission lines Impedance matching The student should be able to: - describe the relationship between the properties of mass, stiffness and damping of a system with one degree of freedom and its frequency response, - determine by calculation the modal characteristics of a system with two degrees of freedom and to interpret the results of this calculation, - to use the principle of modal superposition methods, - to describe the relationship between the modal characteristics of a multi-degree of freedom system and its frequency response, - to explain the principles and limitations of the equipment used to measure the frequency response of a mechanical system, - to use the principle of an experimental modal analysis and to define the necessary measures for this analysis.
